the mayor called for an emergency tax to help city the city afloat. phil mctyre with why they think it will work. >> absolutely flat-out opposed. we are paying too much in taxes as it is. >> i am not happy about it but the money has to come from somewhere. are. >> reporter: from the sounds of things oakland mayor jean kwan will have a hard time getting people to agree to a tax to bail out the deficit. >> for me i am going to be asking everybody to do their share. i will be asking the employees, including the police and the fire to come up and do their share. i will be asking voters to do their share. and on top of that, despite that i will probably have to make cuts in programs and layoffs. >> reporter: one of the skeptics is kwan's replacement on the council. >> i am concerned that the city of oakland will pay $600 to $800,000 to put it on the ballot and it's a gamble i am

not willing to make. >> it may also besomething of a sign of the times. for years oakland voters were among the most liberal and generous in the state repeatedly approving tens of millions in higher taxes for park improvements, fixing the city's schools and public safety. even with last summer's lay-off of some 80 cops the ongoing fiscal mess at city hall have we finally reached the end? >> when will it he happened? will we keep getting these increase inside. >> if the city had managed their resources we wouldn't be under the stress we are today. >> they are waiting to see the city do a little bit more on our part to show that we are going to manage things differently. >> reporter: one question, how much of the new money will be for cops. >> remember, this is a lot less money than my predecessor asked for. i think people get that the recession is really bad. that the city has not aa lot of good options. >> as a matter of fact, the city has very few options. it is a tough sell tonight. but i think she has got the

votes to at least get it on the ballot. as for getting that 2/3 majority that will be difficult but she is going to try. >> but, phil, november was $360. now they are talking 60 that is a big difference. >> it is. but i think she is hoping that the early polling shows that that difference makes it a lot easier sell. 360 was an impossible number for a lot of people to handle. 80 might be right in that range. but allen the people i am talking about it is not that easy even at that amount of money. these are tough times. if the governor gets his special election he will be asking for a tax extension as well. that will be two hits here in oakland that will really test the city's resolve. >> that 2/3 mark is really high. >> thanks so much. >> new details tonight in a widening drug scandal in contra costa county. we are learning more about police officer stephen tenabby who is now the third suspect arrested along with a top narcotics officer and private investigator accused of selling

drug evidence. the latest suspect may also be linked to a separate scheme. ann? [ inaudible ] >> reporter: 47-year-old was arrested on possession and assault rifle. he is a sheriff's deputy who worked as a police officer. the police station says it was the result of an ongoing investigation into the central contra costa narcotics enforcement team. last month the former drug enforcement team leader and a private investigator were arrested on charges of selling drugs. >> but now that we are getting other information about other officers per chance being involved, it does complicate it but not our portion of the case. >> reporter: attorney mike cardosa represents welsh, the former drug team commander. welsh has confessed that he worked with christopher butler to sell confiscated drugs.

he says his client was only involved with butler, no one else. >> i look at that investigative agency as the hub of this. and out from that come different spokes. >> reporter: one of those spokes, according to the san francisco chronicle involves stephen who was also under scrutiny for two arrests made near the vine, a bar in danville. he was in court last friday when the prosecutor alleged men in contested divorces and custody battles were being set up by a private investigator. >> and then someone comes up with the idea, well, let's get your husband a dui and the court will be less likely to give the children to him. >> reporter: the claim is that butler would have the men meet someone for drinks. and the police would be called when he left the bar. the question is whether or not officers were paid for the dui arrests. the public defender told cbs 5 that even if this ends up being true, it's not clear if the duis will be dismissed. >> this case on a general level seems to be developing

different layers. the common thread seems to be the antioch police department. they were all ex-antioch police officers. i can imagine anybody that's an ex-antioch police officer is going to be looked at. >> reporter: welsh has cooperated with the investigators but cardosa says he doesn't know if there are more officers involved and if there will be more arrests. >> reporter: is he giving them information that is leading to other officers? >> no. they haven't talked to him or given them any more information. it is not saying we wouldn't should they calm to us. but as of now, no, we haven't. >> reporter: the public defender says there are at least eight drug cases in the county that could be impacted by these arrests. one of those cases goes to court tomorrow. and the public defender may ask to have those charges dropped against the man because that case may be tainted. >> thank you. the san francisco public defender's office has released another surveillance video in its review of drug busts by

plain-clothed officers. the video showing a man in a distinctive dark jacket entering the henry hotel south of market. officers said they observed that man with drugs in his jacket. according to the police report the drugs were found in the man's white and tan jacket. >> really demonstrating something we've been concerned about for a long time which is this culture of what i am going to call lawlessness on the part of the police where they indiscriminately write the facts that they want to justify their arrest. and they don't worry about it. >> the charges were later dismissed because of a discrepancy. the san francisco police plain clothes unit has been suspended while the fbi and other authorities investigates allegations of misconduct. new developments tonight in the brutal case of a transit rider nearly beaten to death. cal train says that there are significant leads in friday's mob attack on a peninsula platform. mark sayre on the police response. mark? >> reporter: allen, that passenger remains in critical condition tonight. but a spokesperson for cal

train tells us that he is showing some signs of improvement. and of course this attack has saddened cal train riders who say they do all they can to stay safe. the redwood city cal train station is the second busiest. but news that a passenger was attacked while waiting at the station is of great concern. >> that's really unfortunate. i'm sorry to hear that. >> reporter: the 47-year-old san jose man was waiting on the southbound platform at about 7:3 p.m. on friday evening. that's when cal tran officials say a group of 9-15 assailants attacked and robbed the man. thes suspects were gone by the time the police arrived. >> maybe they need to have more security around here at that time of night. because you know things like that can keep happening and shouldn't happen to people. >> reporter: as a result of the attack, the san mateo transit police department has stepped up patrols at the redwood city

police department. there were ten felony and misdemeanor arrests and trains and platforms in january of this year. there were 103 arrests in 2010 and 104 in 2009. regular riders like debabo say they have seen plenty of trouble at the redwood city station. >> there are a lot of people around here who like to just start random it conflicts. just like down there there are some people arguing. >> cal train passengers courtney says she is always paying attention. >> there is always something to look out for, for everybody. you should always look around in your surroundings, you know. >> but other riders say they never have any problems on cal train. >> the only thing i look around for is the train. not for persons. because they are, like, pretty cool. >> reporter: as for the investigation, investigators say at this point they are actively looking for persons of interest in this case. allen, unfortunately this platform does not have any security cameras. so there is no surveillance

video, at least from the train station itself, but perhaps a nearby business or something got some video. we don't know that. but certainly no cameras are here at the station. >> something would help them a lot. mark sayre in redwood city, thanks. >> opening statements today in the trial of a san mateo teenager accused of bringing bombs to hillsdale high school back in 2009. now, the attorney for alexander yushock says his client is schizophrenic and couldn't tell the difference between fantasy and reality. prosecutors allege youshock brought ten pipe bombs, a train shaw to school all planning to kill a formerteacher and students. he faces life in prison if he is convicted. the san francisco investment banker david crane, in the chronicle he linked the controversy over wisconsin's employee's union to california. he argued the politically

powerful california workers don't require collective bargaining rights because of other civil service protections. now, state senator yee asked the state senate to reject crane's confirmation. >> well, it is not even spring break. but in san mateo county parents were willing to stand in line to get their kids into a top school next year. they started camping out at 3:00 yesterday afternoon to register their kids for the school in belmont. that is a public school, but it has a limited number of open spots. that's not enough to keep away determined parents. >> there was this absolutely no way my child was not going to get into this local school that's, like, three minutes from our home. the superintendent says the number of students in the district has jumped by 800 in four years. [ music ] don't mess with our dog. that's the message these people are sending. i'm simon perez in san francisco. i will tell you what has got

them so mad. >> bedbug, yes, they are nasty and they are spreading everywhere. and now a new weapon. how this adorable dog can beat the bugs. my memory a lot, school is harder like focusing and stuff like that. >> he was lucky to survive a nightmare on the baseball diamond. the new helmet that protect these from the same kind of injury. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

proposed restrictions could keep pets away from some popular . >> dog lovers are making their i voices heard over leash laws that could keep their dogs away from parks in san francisco. simon perez is there where some people spoke up for their pooches. >> reporter: hey, to leash or not to leash that is the debate that has royaled san franciscon and it is not over.

they are decrying the plan to shrink the off leash areas in san francisco. >> it is an urban recreation area. it is not a pristine wilderness out in the middle of nowhere. >> we don't have backyards in san francisco. we use the ocean beach as our backyards. it is a place where we go for recreation. >> reporter: from the national park recreation view the golden gate recreation area is a place for recreation but over years as people came to visit conflicts cropped up. >> dogs versus dogs, doing owners versus dog owners. dogs versus children and picnickers and so forth. we realized it was really time to create a plan that was understandable, consistent, clear and that provided for a full range of possible ways to enjoy this park. and at the same time a -- allowed us to do what we do as a national park service, which

is to protect resources for the future. >> reporter: here are some of the proposed changes. dogs are pretty much allowed all over port clemson off leash. the new proposal restricts that to the yellow area. keep in mind this map has also eliminated areas where dogs shouldn't be going anyway, leash or no leash. currently at ocean beach dogs are allowed off leash at the northern and southern end, the areas shaded red. the proposal would eliminate the southern end. the off leash area is at the northern end shaded yellow. this is christie field now. off leash everywhere there is red. the proposal, limit off leash to the yellow areas. the middle of the airfield and the central beach. this is stinson beach now. dogs are required to be on leash in the areas shaded blue. the proposal, pretty much the same. >> there has been an extreme definition of environmental ism that is being used in the beach area right now. and that is that people are bad. people don't belong in our parks. and what we're saying is that the parks are for the people.

>> reporter: even though the national park service wants to hear from visitors about the plan, it won't compromise its mission. >> it's really not a tally of votes. it's trying to design a management program for dog use that's wise and appropriate for national park areas. >> reporter: so if the plan eventually goes through and allows dogs to be off leash the golden gate national recreation area will be the only one out of 394 national parks that would allow dogs to be off leash. a long way to go here though. the plan won't be finalized and go into effect until the end of next year. if you or anybody else wants to come down here and put your two cents in, the meeting continues here at fort mason. >> good to know. simon perez, thanks so much. >> of course dogs are famous for their sense of smell. authorities use them to search for drugs and bombs. now some bag wills -- beagles are sniffing for a new threat, bedbugs. mike sugarman explains. >> reporter: i have been itchy

lately and it looks like something bit me. could it be bedbugs? according to an ad in today's chronicle, there is an easy way to find out. >> this is mo. >> reporter: mo, come on, let's start sniffing. >> come on, let's go. >> reporter: mo is a 1-year-old beagle mix with a nose for bugs. >> dogs are 95% or more accurate. whereas if you had to search your room you might be 30% accurate in actually trying to find the bugs. >> reporter: mo's human is mike watts with the company advanced canine detectives. one of the few bay area using dog detectives. training costs $10,000. to get warmed up mike planted some live bedbugs in violence so mo could find them. >> good boy, good boy, good boy. >> it could be embarrassing to have bedbugs, but it shouldn't be. five star hotels have them. bedbugs don't fly, but they do fly into the country from overseas travelers or you. >> it is recommended that you

don't actually bring your luggage into your residence once you travel because remember your luggage is there with 300 others in the bottom of an airplane. >> reporter: mo sniffed around want to go find bedbugs because he gets treats if he does. but alas for him and yea for me. >> do i have bedbugs? >> you do not have bedbugs, yes. >> reporter: if the $250 visit did find bedbugs they would recommend a deep cleaning which can cost upwards of $750. now that i know i don't have bedbugs, i have to figure out why i'm scratching. but it won't be from mo, i am assured he doesn't have fleas. >> good boy, good boy, good boy. >> reporter: mike sugarman, cbs 5. >> that's the bed beagle. let's check in with roberta for the latest forecast. >> hasn't been raining cats and dogs but light precipitation. we will pinpoint that first. let's head outside with the cbs 5 weather camera picking up cloudy conditions. today a rather cool day. 634 san francisco to 61 degrees

sday deadline. . governor jerry brown admitted today he does not have enough republican votes to pass his budgets plan by a thursday deadline. governor brown needs at least two republicans each in the legislature and the senate to vote "yes." the budget includes $12 billion in cuts. brown is also pushing a june ballot measure that, if passed, will extend several temporary taxes for another five years. i have to say to my republican colleagues who i am talking to, i am asking you not to tax anybody. i am asking you to let the people of california decide. >> reporter: republicans say they are angry that brown rejected their proposed reform measures. if the tax extensions aren't passed the state will have to cut an additional $13.5 billion from the budget with most of that expected to come from education. the state republicans are offering a new way to save money. the proposed path steers clear of a transit middle man. when highway funds filter through the agency the cash

seems to go to waste. mike leery on the call to cut out caltrans. >> well, this is just another example of waste. >> reporter: senator joel anderson is talking today about there story. and on the money investigation of a caltrans investigation at a luxury resort in the desert in 2009. a convention in which caltrans shelled out more than $80,000 to send 52 employees to a transportation conference at a four star hotel that offered ground will rides on a manmade lagoon. >> certainly that story was a tipping point. >> reporter: today joel anderson is calling for a defunding of caltrans, an agency that he says is too fat from taxpayer dollars. >> if you take the salaries, total salaries paid and total benefits paid and divided it by the total number of employees it is in excess of $100,000 per employee. >> reporter: anderson and roughly a dozen republicans want to take nearly $13 billion from caltrans and shift that money to local cities and

counties for their highways, roads and bridges. doing so, they say, would save $2 billion. >> caltrans has not been a good steward of this money. they have not done what they were supposed to be doing. >> reporter: the republicans say they are taking on governor brown's challenge to realign state government by defunding an agency they believe to be in efficient. >> they are just not being good stewards with our money. >> reporter: as for caltrans, we made several attempts to get comments today from headquarters. in sacramento, mike leery, cbs 5. >> well, the agency has just released a statement saying. oil prices are nearing $107 a post-recession high. how will that translate at the gas pump? it may not sit well with phone users. julie watts comments on the first area change and 50 years
